It's not often that I post on vegetables or side dishes. Somehow, I never seem to conjure anything interesting with them. To me, they accompany the dish- even though we eat our fair share of salads and vegetables daily!
Funny enough, I never knew how to appreciate the beauty of brussels sprouts till recently. Maybe it's because I associate them with a bitter after taste when I had the as a kid. My mother in law though, loved it! and even brought some back to KL!
Anyway, I discovered that if I blanched it quickly and cook it in stir fry, it tastes fabulous. I love the crunch and texture of it. A little oyster sauce and mixed it up with other vegetables, it's a great side dish with chinese dishes.
So what are the other ways to cook Brussels sprouts? I can see it in some butter and pine nuts perhaps?
i never had broussel sprouts and i recently read that they just need a quick stir fry like you said, otherwise they give a funny taste.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I cook rice, I must have at least one of this vegetable stir-fry. Otherwise, I'll feel guilty, hehe...
ReplyDeleteYou can roast it too, in halves or quarters, seasoned with spices.
ReplyDeleteI adore brussels and this sounds like such a cute way to prep them!
ReplyDeletejust quick stir fried already yummy!
ReplyDeletepine nuts! hell yeah! and i have the same plate! yay!
ReplyDeleteI found a short-cut, instead of blanching it, I slightly cook it in the microwave. :)
